I sometimes run into beautiful designs provided by clients using great combinations of layout and type. I enjoy working with them because of the design focus spans across the website to give unique values to the brands. For those designs, the element called container as in DotNetNuke skinning language often plays a small role. They sometime just need to behave as a placeholder for content.
A few people were asking me about similar situation and how to approach when working with those designs. My suggestion to them is to use a clean simple container and manage the design through CSS.
To create a plain and simple container, it still needs a few tricks. If you’re going to create a container that will be reused over and over, why not making it the ultimate one that always stays in your development folder.
To save you time, I put together two blank containers so you can download and reuse for future projects. These containers are created using XHTML and CSS. They’re also written using semantic markups to assist with accessibility as well as being search engine friendly.
Feel free to download and modify as you wish. There are no restrictions.
Hope you enjoy!
